And I wouldn't be so quick to write him off guys... I think the knee issue could be related to overworking and/or not giving the achilles time to properly heal. Often times when one injury in your lower body isn't properly healed, it will have effects on other areas overcompensating for the original injury.

Lets be honest, Carolina Panthers are atleast 5 years away from anything.

I don't buy that. Even the worst team can be turned around in 2 years max with the right moves. A good draft or two while sprinkling in a couple mid-priced FA's, and good coaching on both sides of the ball, can work wonders.

Not much of a surprise. As DeMeco Ryans can attest to, it seems to take 18-24 months to fully recover from an achilles tear. I just wonder if Beason will get that chance with the Panthers. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't unless he's willing to restructure that deal.

That doesn't mean that the knee injury isn't a direct result of overstressing caused by coming back from the achilles injury faster than he should have. The same thing happens to guys who have ankle injuries, rush back, and end up with hamstring problems. They're probably related and the knee is probably not going to be better until his achilles is healed properly.

He was back at superhuman speed from a full achilles tear - man needed more time. IR should allow him to have it.

Unrelated to the post I quoted: This team, of all the teams in the world, certainly shouldn't be calling his career over after we saw TD do what he's doing.
